"Barack Obama is committed to hosting a public, televised event Friday night in Mississippi even if John McCain does not show up, an official close to the Obama campaign tells the Huffington Post.

In McCain's absence, the Senator is willing to make the scheduled debate a townhall meeting, a one-on-one interview with NewsHour's Jim Lehrer, or the combination of the two, the official said.

Such a course of action could make life incredibly difficult for McCain, who has called for the suspension of the debate in light of the current economic crisis.
Should he stay in Washington D.C. -- if a bailout if not completed by then -- and let Obama alone reach tens of millions of television viewers?"
Obama Will Make Debate A Townhall If McCain Doesn't Show

McCain needs to pick up the ball here, but it'll be tough to do without losing face.

Then McCain will be given equal free air time. And while McCain is in Washington working like he should be, jughead will be standing at the podium by himself looking stupid.

Why would he get equal free air time? They both have this one opportunity, if McCain doesn't show, sucks to be him, basically. He does not deserve equal air time in that case, sorry.

Weren't you just the one admonishing someone for insulting the other side? Jughead, really mature there.

No one is obligated to give him equal free air time. It has been offered on Friday and he has declined.
McCain will not be working on Friday evening in Washington, as there is nothing scheduled.
